@douglas_schroeder Sorry for your loss. Hang in there brother.

Listen folks, Al is not dead. Let’s keep a hopeful spirit. The Bible says God listen to the prayers of the faithful. If all of us say a prayer for Al and ask God for mercy, He will listen and Al will post again.  I strongly believe this. Let’s get... 
It is not you, the sound really is getting worse
@asvjerry Good to know but I don’t think I am there yet. @deep_333@deep_333N doubt AJ’s credential is unblemished. Sounds like a sweet deal.

@deep_333Erik built his own center and solved the problem. He talked about his design in one of the posts above. Enjoy.  
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
Bravo!!  What some won’t understand is that the pleasure and satisfaction is in the journey itself as well as the destination. He is a giant among men. Well done indeed.

Sorry for the confusion about my use of the word distortion. I am talking about it in generic terms. You and Toole are using it in a more polished way than I am. I talked about it as whatever changes the original signal. I know you are kidding abo...

@erik_squires look up Paradigm CC-290. That’s what he is talking about.

@erik_squires Hi EI have used several iterations of that design in my system with little success. The last time I tried using two speakers in a kind of horizontal array with two AR4c.  It was better but still not totally free of distortion. From t... 
What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses?
@cal91Don’t get too upset about this thing. You tried it an formed an opinion based on what you experienced. Cakyol has to do the same, then he will know. In this field, there are a lot of things that don’t make sense but work. Just make sure you ...

@erik_squires Hi EMy experiences with this design have been negative. Dr Toole seems to agree. I am glad it has worked for you. I will try to attach a quote from him below from his excellent book, Sound Reproduction. If you have the book, he talks...

@cakyolWow!  Sometimes I envy you guys. Life must be very easy for you. All good amplifiers sound the same as long as they have similar specs, right?  There are seven colors and no more. Pace, rhythm, soundstage, musicality, timing are all pigment... 
What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses?
@cakyolDo you believe that power cords make a difference?  If your answer is yes then apply the same logic about the manufacturers and see how unconvincing you sound. If your answer is no, then...By the way, science progresses only when people are...

Dialogues in movies soundtracks on discs have issues. It’s a well known fact. Most people setting up their home theater systems raise the center channel by 4 to 6 dB. Even regular channels like CNN etc have to be raised accordingly. Added to the p...

@adam8179Synergistic offers a 100% money back warranty for 30 days. So have at it and enjoy the ride. You are doing the right thing.

@georgehifiYou really should talk to @atmasphere I know what he said. As for me, I am sorry, I cannot dismiss what I heard and am still hearing for what you believe based on theories. I choose reality. I wish I was like you, convinced beyond doubt...
